Dust jacket with tiny nicks to edges and small loss of paper to tips of spine and corners - in good to very good condition. By the author of beloved "Heidi," "What Sami Sings..." told the story of a young, orphaned boy, who loved nature and the songs of the birds. First published in German in 1887, it was not translated into English until 1917, by Helen B. Dole, and it has been especially difficult to obtain in the original dust jacket.
